Vox Populi: 'If the city of Savannah wants to address blight, why not hold convenience stores to a higher standard?'

"I guess those tighty-righties who have all the answers can straighten out our country now. Let's give them as long as they gave the president to get it done."

"I am a Chatham County employee. Is it legal for a supervisor to tell you what day you can make an appointment with your doctor? I think it is unfair that if I need to go to the doctor I have to comply with this. I can only get an appointment when the doctor is available."

"Why not just make Halloween the last Saturday in October?"

"I'm a vendor at flea markets in Georgia. I was in Augusta on a recent Saturday when two Department of Revenue agents came by to inform us we can only set up once a year in Georgia without having a tax number. They were not very nice."

"Regarding the comment that City Hall could change the dates of Thanksgiving and Christmas, please don't give them any bad ideas. They have enough of their own."

"Do I feel sorry for the guy at The Landings who is complaining about greens fees? No. My sympathies lie with the parents who do not have enough money to buy prescription medicine for their children when they are sick."

"To the caller who said they would vote against politicians who made an unsolicited call to their house, way to go. Issues don't matter; not one bit."

"Congratulations to Governor-elect Nathan Deal. I saw him on television and he had a sigh of relief, kind of like a man who just got out of debt."

"For everyone who voted 'no' to Amendment 2, I hope you or your loved ones never need to be transported to a trauma center."

"I feel that veterans or anyone currently in the military should not have to pay for even one cent of health care. It is ridiculous how long it takes for these poor people to even get in to see a doctor."

"If the city of Savannah wants to address blight, why not hold convenience stores to a higher standard? Too many of them reflect badly on adjoining neighborhoods."

"I wish the cab drivers would stop feeding the pigeons by the Greyhound bus station."
